San Diego Chargers news, rumors and injuries

San Diego Chargers impending free-agent LB Dwight Freeney said he plans to play next season after considering retirement. Freeney will look to sign with a team that is a contender and has a clear role for him.

San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers is not letting recent talk about the team leaving San Diego influence him about re-signing. "Is the location of this team going to be a deciding factor?" Rivers said in a radio station interview. "I can't honestly tell you that it will be."

Fantasy Tip: Rivers isn't worried about it, and that's a sign it won't affect his play in 2015 either. Rivers is still a solid QB1 selection in most drafts moving forward.

San Diego Chargers owners Dean Spanos met with San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer Sunday, Feb. 22, and they have agreed on an expedited schedule for the advisory group considering a new stadium for the Chargers.

Fantasy Tip: It is not known if the Chargers are interested in bringing Mathews back next season, so he could hit the free-agent market. Mathews' fantasy value will be determined if he earns a starting job and which team he joins. He could be an option in the middle rounds if he is a starter.

Fantasy Tip: No need to panic for Chargers fans. San Diego recognizes Rivers' value and intends to talk about it on its own schedule. Rivers is still a valuable QB1 option for fantasy leagues when completely healthy.
